Poetry or Prose ---Which one is best ?
Novels , news paper articles and journals in many fields are written in prose only
Still do you think that poetry is best ? Why ?
An inquiry by Fine Drizzleian on Poetry Corner a famous forum at Allpoetry.
Dr. Zik the inventor of Zikorean English literature
The atmosphere, circumstances, weather, situations, needs, and mood are changeable, so the prose, and poetry find their ways, time, patterns, and styles with the literary devices and branches, from time to time with the changing situations. A poet or writer has mere control over editing not over revelation, so one can’t decide or declare which one is the best: prose or poetry?
Both are the means of literary communication and the gifts of God for some selected persons. If a writer or poet tries to control a revelation he will ruin the literature. Each writing medium has its limitations and boundaries.
Poetry and prose, both have their inspiration which allures and compels the writers to write. This fact comes into being, during their experiences with their beloved ones when feelings transform into literary pearls, after being softly contacting with nature. Both writing patterns are interlinked with each other. Traditional rhymed poetry, free verse, unrhymed Haiku (5, 7, 5), and post-modern rhymed and un-rhymed Zikorean poetry: Ziket (1-8, 1-5), and Zinet (1-5) including Zikelite, Zeelite, and Zinelite are the best examples in English literary history.
